Going for a walk in one of my favourite places AND taking photos of plants AND being able to contribute towards the PeatPic project all at the same time - what's not to like?! Thanks @wetlandresilienceresearchgroup.com for leading

Does anyone have any good resources (or their own examples) for how to make a good scientific poster to share with students.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?
